Kamagasaki, located in Nishinari Ward, Osaka, is known as Japan’s largest day-laborer area. Since the postwar period, it has been a gathering place for people seeking temporary work, especially in construction and manufacturing. The district faces social challenges such as poverty, homelessness, and aging, but it is also known for its strong sense of community and mutual support among residents. In recent years, efforts have been made to improve welfare services and promote social inclusion.
